This recipe uses no yeast, no baking powder, and no buttermilk.
----
Preheat oven to 375 F. Grease a loaf pan.
Use 2 cups all purpose flour. Add 1 tablespoon of baking soda, a pinch of salt, and 1 generous tablespoon of sugar. Mix dry ingredients well.
Stir in 3/4 cup milk. Then stir in 1/4 cup white vinegar (not apple cider vinegar--that isn't acidic enough).
Optional: Mix in 1/2 cup raisins to the batter and/or sprinkle 1 tablespoon of rolled oats on top just before baking.
Pour dough into the loaf pan, sprinkle oats if desired, slit the top with a sharp knife. Then bake on a middle rack. Turn halfway through if you don't have a convection oven.
Bake 40 minutes or until golden brown.

It's a pantry friendly recipe that relies on an acid-base reaction with vinegar and baking soda to get its rise. Gives reliable results. Good for open faced sandwiches.
